Browse Forums Bathrooms and Laundry 1 Jul 30, 2008 3:34 pm Hello I have been renovating three bathrooms and have a few experiences I would like to share and hopefully get some advices. I have been buying a few items from Graysonline auctions in Sydney. The toilet roll holders, towel rails and the like were great buys. Then I started buying taps and showers! When the showers arrived plumber took one look at them and refused to install. He said that they were not rated by wels so he could not install them, despite having the stickers (wels and australia standard tick) on the box. He said sticker is fake! I contact wels department in Canberra and they were very helpful and showed me how to use the website. Turns out the showers not rated by wels department and had fake stickers on the box!!! I again contact Grays auction to tell them and they do not retunr my email. AND they are still selling the fake showers and taps so be careful. Now before I buy I check the brand on the website wels to see if they have correct license. If you buying shower or tap online be careful!

Maybe they fooled as well. Since problem I buy many tap from Grays and they very very good and cheap price (brand of mirage and caroma). Check brand and model on wels web first then I buy!! Forgot before, wels certificate for a model not brand so need to check both. I call again to get refund from fake shower.
